LEAGUE NEWS

Former NRL player Brandon Costin has rugby league officials scrambling through the record books after guiding the Coffs Harbour Comets into the Group 2 grand final at age 46.

Officials believe Costin - who played 136 ARL/NRL games for South Sydney, Western Suburbs, Sydney Roosters and Canberra before finishing his top-flight career in England - is one game away from becoming the oldest premiership winner in Country Rugby League history.

Sharing a co-coaching role, Costin only laced on the boots again on Sunday because of an injury crisis at the club.
